MP3: Major Lazer & La Roux – “Lazerproof” (Free Mixtape)

Weezy’s in jail, so I guess there ends the stream of amazing free mixtapes, right? Wrong. So wrong.

In the late hours of last night, superproducer Diplo sent the internet into a frenzy by uploading a 100% freely downloadable mixtape to his Mad Decent site. Entitled ‘Lazerproof’, the mix was a collaboration between Diplo & Switch’s electro/dancehall project, Major Lazer, and UK new-wave/pop sensation, La Roux!

As well as La Roux, ‘Lazerproof’ features appearances from Gucci Mane, Drake, Gyptian, Rusko, and Amanda Blank. According to Mad Decent, “It features a bunch of JA-inspired blends, special remixes, dubplates and more”.

Put together by Diplo and Switch on a recent trip to Jamaica, the mixtape follows Major Lazer’s downright-filthy 2009 album, ‘Guns Don’t Kill People… Lazers Do’. It is the latest in a series of classic mixtape collaborations from Diplo, following 2008′s‘Top Ranking’ mixtape with Santigold and 2004′s ‘Piracy Funds Terrorism’ mixtape with M.I.A.
